2019 Master Weather Forecast: Augusta National suspended game in round two

Update: With Tiger Woods on the 12th green looking for his second bird in a row, the game was suspended at Augusta National because of weather conditions, although golfers were held up at their respective holes. The expectation is that the game will resume and that the Masters will try to participate in the complete turn. The last group of the day is at No. 11, which means the Masters hope to have eight holes before dark to finish the second round and make cuts before the day of the move on Saturday.

Original story

AUGUSTA, Georgia – Weather conditions still play a decisive role for golf tournaments, but they become much more crucial when it comes to the most important golf event of the year. The 2019 Masters started Thursday at the Augusta National Golf Club, and the weather was relatively mild. Yes, it was hot on the course – sometimes extremely slow – but the sky was clear and 18 holes of golf were played without problem.

These are not the conditions experienced Friday morning in Augusta. Rain is expected all day Friday with constant showers until 10 pm ET. It should become clearer at the beginning of the afternoon with a rain risk of 15 to 25% in the middle of the day, but isolated and scattered thunderstorms are on the bridge for the early evening with a probability of 35 to 45 % of rain around 16:00. at 8 pm

This is not just the rain that worries because golfers can play under a drizzle or light rain. This is the potential lightning that is a problem. It should also be very cold Sunday with strong winds and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

The Masters is not immune to bad weather because delays are common for these reasons. Nevertheless, there has been no arrival Monday at the Masters since 1983.

As long as the grounds of Augusta National are not too wet, the underwater system should help to ensure strong course conditions throughout the weekend. For the moment, all this remains to be seen while we wait to know what the sky reserves for the 87 men who will compete on the weekend.
